The best-selling Pet Rescue Adventures series by Holly Webb continues with this heartwarming tale of twin sisters, Zara and Amina, and their new kitten. The girls love to spoil their kitten, whom they name Pixie, and play with her all the time. But the sisters have different ideas about the best way to take care of Pixie, and when they start at a new school, the divide between them only grows. Then at their joint birthday party, an argument between the girls sends Pixie running off, scared. She’s so small, and she could be anywhere! Will Zara and Amina be able to work together to find their beloved Pixie? Features black-and-white illustrations throughout.
Gr 1-4–Amina and Zara are twins, and they’re about to adopt their very own kitten. Amina is outgoing and talkative, often speaking for Zara, who is more reserved. Together, they choose the quietest, most timid kitten of the bunch—Pixie—later realizing that she is a lot like Zara. As the twins start a new school, Pixie is adjusting to being alone during the day. She’s easily spooked and still getting used to life outside the shelter. When Amina and Zara get into a fight at their birthday party, Pixie runs off and hides, and they have no idea where she is. To find her, the sisters must learn to communicate and work together. Chapters from Pixie’s point of view add a unique touch, shifting between the perspectives of fourth grade girls and a cat. Soft grayscale illustrations are sprinkled throughout. This entertaining and heartwarming story will especially resonate with young readers who have siblings. VERDICT A charming addition to early chapter book collections, particularly for libraries with a strong readership for animal stories. --School Library Journal
